Interesting indexing issue - any input would be greatly appreciated!

A few months ago we did SEO for a website, just like any other website. However, we did not see crawl/indexing results that we have with all of our other SEO projects - the Google webmaster tool was indicating that only 1 page of the site (although only 20 pages) was indexed.

The site was older & originally developed in Dreamweaver, so although that shouldn't have been an issue, we were desperate to solve the problem & ended up rebuilding the site in WordPress. While this actually helped increase the number of pages on the site that Google indexed (now all 20) - we are still seeing strange things in the search results. For example, when we check rankings manually for a particular term, the new description is showing, however, it is displaying the old title text.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? Thank you so much!!

Can it be that the old indexed page still shows the old text? In my experience when I change metas and titles it takes a random amount of time to get indexed the way I want it, even though webmaster tools show the correct info.

The randomness is even worse when it comes to ranking rich snippets (in my experience).

How long has it been? I would just give it some time

I agree it can be the old site still showing up in the cached version of the search results.

You can use a plug-in called Yoast word press SEO

if you want to make sure that this is fixed correctly. It will allow you to type in the correct description entitles that you wish to implement.
